You can’t get any more scenic than Faber Peak, 100 metres above sea level. Seated alfresco is a no-brainer here – with sweeping views of the surrounding rainforest, cable car ride and Sentosa island, it’s built for you to snap a series of Instagram stories. However if it’s a humid night and you prefer some respite from the elements, head over to the covered section that features a 9.6 metre bar.

Chef Kenny Yeo is skilled in French cuisine, but the European tapas menu also features classics from Spain, Italy and Germany, such as Iberian ham, citrus octopus and foie gras. Aside from tapas, the main courses and snacks also have a recognisable Asian influence, with salted egg crispy fish skin with a side dip of curry mayo, and a tiger prawn capellini tossed in lobster-infused oil and Japanese seaweed.
Drinks here are not an afterthought – the signature Dusk to Dawn is a combination of gin, vodka, rum, blue curacao lemon juice and peach syrup, served in an inverted light bulb (read: highly photogenic). There is also the Nitro-Frost Caviar Martini, where nitrogen is injected into the cocktail via an aerator so you don’t suffer from warm drinks.
Dusk Restaurant & Bar is located at Faber Peak, Level 2.

There’s something about eating by the water that instantly puts you in a holiday mood. So even though Bayswater Kitchen offers an airy indoor seating area, the alfresco setting by the marina is where you'll be able to make the most of the ocean breeze (if you're unlucky to be there on a still night, there’s always the air-conditioning).

Given the nautical theme, it's unsurprising that seafood is the star here. The 4-course menu starts with snacks and two starters (cured salmon and crab agnolotti in a mussel broth), but in true Lady and the Tramp style, the main course is meant to be shared. You can clink forks with either a cod and salmon fish pie and greens (pictured), or a braised beef cheek pie and mash. But don’t worry; when it comes to the chocolate dessert, you each get your own.

Part of Lewin Terrace’s charm is that it’s not a place that you casually stumble upon.

The kitchen is helmed by Chef Hiroyuki Shinkai (who has over a decade of working in Michelin-starred restaurants) who serves up Japanese-French fusion, plated with delicate precision.
